Dragonboat Race Day Returns

On Dragonboat Race Day, dozens of communities, businesses, civic organizations and clubs form teams to race 42-foot dragonboats in front of the seawall at Henry Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort. It’s all happening Saturday, June 22, and it’s for a great cause – supporting DragonBoat Beaufort’s cancer survivor mission: “Through the physical competition of dragonboat racing and the strength of camaraderie, DragonBoat Beaufort aims to provide cancer survivors with a total sense of wellness. Additionally, our OUTREACH program supports individual cancer patients who live, work or are treated in Beaufort County with needs they cannot afford or for which they lack coverage.”
